Note, the total free space of a build of the smartphone is less than 16 GB as the OS and pre-installed apps occupy some of this storage space.

Just like Pouvoir 1, Pouvoir 2 is a 4G LTE smart device. The support for this technology makes it possible for a user of this smartphone to use the internet at very high speed.

Aside from having support for 4G LTE networks, the smartphone also has support for 2G and 3G networks.

As expected, Tecno Pouvoir 2 has support for the Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth technology. However, the manufacturer took a step further, by making this device support the USB-OTG technology. With the support of the Wi-Fi technology, Tecno Pouvoir 2 can join computer networks wirelessly. The Bluetooth and the USB-OTG technology makes it possible for the smartphone to use external peripheral devices.

Tecno Pouvoir 2 runs the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system. This operating system is a cool operating system as expected. The operating system is the version of the Android OS most 2018 high-end smartphones run. The OS has a number of new exciting features, and it furthermore features improvements to the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.

Android OS is no doubt one of the best mobile operating system. The OS has one main competition which is the iOS. However, Android has beaten iOS many times to winning awards. Aside iOS, no other mobile OS can compete with Android. This OS exists as an OS that makes the mobile industry better.

Chipset and RAM

Tecno Pouvoir 2 is made up electronic components that are championed by a MediaTek chipset. The MediaTek chipset in question is a quad-core chipset. These four processors of the chipset all work together on tasks to help quickly complete tasks at hand.

It is true that some chipsets have eight cores, but it does not mean the eight cores work simultaneously. In octa-core chipset, the cores exist in two sets of four cores. Only a set of four core works at a time. Thus, featuring of four cores does not make Pouvoir 2 at disadvantage.

The cores in the MediaTek chipset that champions the Pouvoir 2 system have a common processing speed of 1.30 GHz. Majority of cores featured in mid-range smartphones have processing speeds between 1.25 GHz and 1.50 GHz. With 1.30 GHz cores, this smartphone will operate as expected.

A 1 GB random access memory (RAM) serves as the primary memory of the chipset championing the Tecno Pouvoir 2 system. For a mid-range smart device this RAM is enough to make the device work seamlessly. Regular Android apps will run on the smartphone with very little or no glitch.

Cameras and Sensors

Tecno Pouvoir 2 comes with remarkable cameras, one positioned in the front of the smartphone and another nicely placed on the rear side of the smart device. A 13 MP camera sits nicely on the rear side of the smartphone and acts as the primary camera of this smartphone.

Some enhancements of this smart device include a LED flash, geotagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR, and panorama.

Not all mid-range smartphones feature a fingerprint scanner, but Tecno Pouvoir 2 has a fingerprint scanner. The fingerprint scanner is an innovative approach to phone unlocking. This approach is easier and not susceptible to brute force. This approach to phone unlocking has its cons, which is why it does not completely replace existing phone unlocking systems.

The phone will be unable to play some games without the presence of an accelerometer. The smart device will also have issues running some apps without a gyro, a proximity sensor, and a compass.

Storage and Power

Tecno Pouvoir 2 is equipped with a 16 GB flash storage as its internal storage. However, this does not mean the total free space will be up to 16 GB, as the operating system, pre-installed apps and some files occupy some storage space. It is possible for a mid-range smartphone user to use the device without the need for storage space expansion.

Pouvoir 2 however supports storage space expansion with the help of a micro SD card. Any micro SD card can be used to expand this smart phone’s storage as long as it does not exceed 32 GB in capacity. Making attempt to expand the device storage beyond 32 GB can cause the smartphone to malfunction.

Just as the primary selling point of Pouvoir 1 is its battery, the primary selling point of this smartphone is its battery as well.
